Student Organization Resources
Hosting Events
The School of Engineering has a variety of spaces available for engineering student organizations to reserve.
Microsoft Teams is available to all students to hosting virtual meetings.
- Groups can submit events to be run in the School of Engineering Newsletter and Digital Signage.
- All meetings and events should be entered into Rock Chalk Central.
- Groups can also hang flyers on the bulletin boards around Engineering Complex.
***No flyers should be hung on painted surfaces or glass doors. If your group chooses to hang flyers they should be taken down no later than two days after the event.***
Student Organizations are expected to take attendance at all events using one of the options below.
Event Check-in App and Event Pass
Once your event has been submitted and approved in Rock Chalk Central, your event will post to the Corq app, and allow you to utilize the Campus Labs Event Check-In App to scan attendee Event Passes if you are hosting an in-person event.
Attendance URL
On the Manage Event page for any Event, you will find an Attendance URL. Any Rock Chalk Central user who visits this link during the event or up to 72 hours after the event ends will be marked as attended for this event.
This link can be shared through the chat feature of your online meeting platform of choice, and anyone who clicks on it will essentially be self-reporting their attendance.
Track Attendance Manually
Click +Add Attendance button.
Text Entry
On the Text Entry tab, you can enter attendee information in bulk, using the attendees' alpha numeric KU email address. So, if you collect users' email addresses during sign-in at an event, you can copy and paste that information into the text entry field and add that attendance data. For each entry, you can also choose the attendance status. Enter up to 500 attendees using this method, with one email or ID per line.
File Upload
The File Upload tab allows you to enter a .csv or .txt file containing attendees' alpha numeric KU email address. Select the identifier type, upload the file, assign the proper level of attendance credit and click Upload. Please limit attendance uploads to a maximum of 1,000 records.
